THE FUGITIVE DEAD.
Apostle Taylor Climbs the
Golden.
He Dies a Fugitive from
Justice.
A Short History ofthe Apostles
Career.

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 26.-It is an
n%ounced tonight that John Taylor, pres
ident of the Mormon church, died at five
minutes to s O'Clock last evening. The
funeral will be at noon on Friday next at
the tabernacle, the body lying in state in
that building from I to ll:30 a. M. The
public will be permitted TO view the re-
mains,
John Taylor was born in Milnthorp,
Westmoreland county, England, Nov. /,
1893. He Joined the Methodist church
in England. emigrated to Canada in 1882,
following his parents who went two years
before; got into a conflict with the Meth
odists in Toronto and became a Progress
sive Methodist. When Farley P. Pratt
visited that city in 1896, Taylor and 9th
ers were baptized into the Mormon church
by him, and in 1887 gathered at Kirt.
land, o. In 1888 Joseph Smith had a
revelation" naming him and others for
members of the quorum of twelve apostles
to fill vacancies.
Taylor did much missionary work for
the church for twenty years in the Isle of
Man, England, Scotland. Ireland and
France. He was also editor of various
church papers; was with Joseph smith in
Carthage jail and received four shots
when the assailants opened fire. Another
bullet lodged in his watch, which saved
his life. He published a book of Mormon
in French and published a paper IN New
York City in 1854 called the Mormon.
He was president of the twelve apostles
when Brigham Young died in 1877, and
as such remained head of the church till
1880, when he organized the first presi
dency anew, taking the chief place him
self, which he held till his death. After
the passage of the Edmunds law OF 1882
he pretended to give up his wives, but
constantly preached that no Mormon could
do this, and nobody believed he had done
it. He was indicted early in 1885 and
last appeared in public Feb. /, 1885.
Since then he has been in hiding from the
officers of the law.
Taylor was one of the earliest and fore
most adherents of ~polygamy, yet after
adopting it he took occasion to deny that
the practice prevailed among the Nor
mons.
George Q. Cannon publishes a long and
violent announcement of the death in the
Deseret Nel1s this evening, charging the
death to rhe cruelty of the officers of the
law in not permitting Taylor to come out
to have his usual exercise. Cannon says
Taylor occupies the place of double
martyr; he has been killed by the cruelty
of the officials who have in this territory
misrepresented the government of the
United States" Again: His blood
stains the clothes of those men who with
insensate hate offered rewards for his
arrest and have bounded bin to his grave.
History will yet call their deeds by their
right names, but One greater than the
combined voices of all historians will yet
pronounce their dreadful sentence"

Lord Beresford,s Mistake.

LONDON, July DO. Lord Chas. Beres-
ford, junior lord of the admiralty, has re-
signed. He has since been requested TO
withdraw his resignation.
The cause OF his resignation was a
minor breach of etiquette at Spithead
during the naval review last Saturday,
when a private signal was converted into
a public one. 1t is described as follows:
While the queen was receiving the
captains of the feet in the saloon of the
royal yacht Albert and Victoria, Lord
Charles Beresford, who was on the yacht,
signalled to the E~nchantress, on aboard
of which was his wife, the following mes
sage: Tell Lady Charles to 90 mmedi-
ately aboard the yacht Lancashire Witch,
where i will join her"
The captain of the Enchantress, when
the signal was given thought of course ii
was a special royal command, but as the
message was slowly spelled out he be-
came greatly enraged. He, however,
smothered his feelings, not daring to re-
port Lord Charles in view OF his position
as lord of the admiralty. The captain
could not refrain, however, from COM
planning privately to his friends, and in
this wav a reporter of the Times learned
OF the incident. The result was the pub
~licatIon of the whole story in Monday
issue of the Times. Lord Charles then
had no option but to resign.
The incident is believed to be p
alleled. Disciplinarians declare that
Lord Charles conduct was virtually a
gross insult to the queen. Permanent
officers Of the admiralty office, it Is said,
are delighted over the position in which
"Reformer" Beresford is placed by the
affair.

sions, with the approval of the secretary
of the interior, ordered the dismissal of
z. Il. Behle, special pension examiner at
Cincinnati, when information that Behle

on July 2 used grossly insulting language
toward the president of the United States.
Subsequently the secretary ordered a sus-
pension Of the order Of dismissal until
Behle could be heard in his own behalf
Behle appeared at the interior department
to-day and was given a personal hearing

Cincinnati, but he said he had no recol-
lection of using the language attributed
to him AT the conclusion of the inter
view the secretary renewed his order of
suspension, thus Diminishing Behle from
service.

The Damage by Floods.

GREAT DARLINGTON, Mass, July %.
Careful inspection of the flooded area
shows the devastation has been more
widespread than reported. When the
cloud burst the air seemed to be filed with
water and in a very short time the valley
became transformed into a white capped
lake. Nearly all crops in the valley were
destroyed, and it will take years of labor
on the land to bring it to its former fer
tility, so deeply Is it covered with stones
and sand brought down by the numerous
land slides. The reports of loss of life
have been exaggerated. Only one body
has heen found.

The process of laying pipes for the

large number of hands being employed.
While our town is putting on lively
appearance and business seems to be
looking up, yet there is a clear lndica-
ton that prospects for the laboring
classes are gloomy, as there are 30 or
y applicants for work daily, who are
denied.
1t is rumored that Salisbury will
soon have electric light. The idea of
having our town so brilliantly lighted
affords JOY to many.
We are informed that w. E. Hen

done and is doing more to remove race

for their work, we can't see why every

A Minister'S Wife.
BY MRS. JULIA BROWN.

Dear Readers of the Southern
Recorder: | have for some time felt
impressed to write upon the subject,
What Kind of Woman Minister $
Wife Should Be.
/. She should be, by all means, a
woman of good moral character.
When | say character, l do not mean
what she is said to be, but what is in
reality.
2. She should be mild and per-
suasive; ready to stand arm in arm with
her husband; full of truth and sound
logic; ever ready to fall in line and
do the duties enjoined upon her for
the cause Of Christianity, otherwise
she would prove stumbling block,
or for time retard the progress that
the husband would make, were she
not helpmeet in spirit and in truth.
Too often the mistake is made by
the man, when his mind is made up to
take unto himself a partner for life,
or, in other words, a wife In max
ing til iir choice they should have an
eye single to their work in the
ministry. If so, many who are now
laboring arduously with but little
success, would be the sure means of
winning many souls to Christ. But
enough in that line. The wife of a
minister should be an example Of
piety; slow to anger; the entertainer
Of high sense of honor, and as such
she will ever prove an efficient
companion. And when the call is
made for more recruits for the army
that is now engaged in war against
sin and folly along the coast
